Legion Lighting - Brooklyn, NY

The ChallengeThe deteriorated concrete, exposed aggregate and compression fractures in the main aisles were greatly reducing the manufacturer’s ability to efficiently run their production schedule. The badly deteriorated condition of the concrete directly resulted in the delay of raw materials being supplied to the appropriate parts of the facility. The laborious and time consuming method of transporting the heavy pallet loads of raw materials around the plant were inhibiting production. The combination of deteriorated concrete, uneven floor levels and compression fractures led to fork trucks operating well under desired capacity, hand carts virtually impossible to move manually without substantial assistance and area maintenance was extraordinarily difficult.

﻿The Solution﻿ECI was chosen to correct the badly damaged concrete. All of the concrete in the two entry docks that had compression fractures was removed and replaced with 4000 PSI commercial grade concrete reinforced with anti-corrosive rebar keyed into the existing concrete substrate. Using a closed system shot blast machine, ECI then mechanically prepared the substrate by shot blasting the existing and newly poured concrete to achieve the proper profile for maximum bond strength. Then ECI installed a high density epoxy mortar flooring system and abrasion resistant coating.
